The NCDL is the UKs largest dog welfare charity and works
tirelessly to ensure that every dog is free from the threat
of unnecessary destruction. We also work hard to ensure that
welfare conditions in Europe are satisfactory. To help those
countries who wish to improve welfare we offer practical advice
through our International Companion Animal Welfare Conference
(ICAWC) which was developed with the belief in working towards
a world where no healthy companion animal is destroyed for want
of a caring home with responsible owners.

Clarissa has been an integral part of the NCDL for the last
25 years and has overseen many important changes in the world
of dog welfare.
